Released February 2019 OH SINNER PEOPLE is my adaptation the powerful Song 'Sinnerman'. I first heard it sung by the Legendary Nina Simone (EMI) I believed it to be a Traditional Gospel Song, but, while researching I found the Lester Baxter Recording on waltervdbus YouTube Channel with this explanation for its origin "First recording by Les Baxter Orchestra featuring Will Holt Chorus of 'Sinner Man' (Baxter/Holt), possibly better known through later versions by The Weavers (1959), Nina Simone (1964) and Peter Tosh (1966/1971/1977), among many others. The song is clearly adapted from the 1954 gospel tune 'On Judgement Day' (Peacock 1743) by The Sensational Nightingales."
(Thanks to Minstrelcraft for the info) and a Special CREDIT to Bob Marley for his "Songs of Freedom" quote from Redemption Song.

A track I wrote with David and Curtis Lugay back in the 80's. My Lyrics describe the madness of party living as I saw it. Many years later at Roslyn Park Collage I gathered some skills and began making Video/Animations in a bid to explain my words. In IF IT'S MAGIC the only people who benefit from the use of hard Drugs are the Cruel Powerful Suppliers.
Over the years The track has become a Brit Funk Classic.
It was re-released in 2017 by French Label Chuwanaga on their Album 'IN THE RED' Label: Chuwanaga.

I wrote YOU TOO and 'Lonely Times' after a complex struggle and living in 'Emergency Accommodation'. On my way back through central Dublin the Pace of my walking and the view of some Bunk Beds in the window of a Hostel triggered the flow of words and music into my note book as walked describing all on my way, hey you too....you too

I was glad when Fresh Start took us on a day trip to Roslyn Park College, Sandymount, Dublin. I begged the college to let me in. A sliver of light after Years of Shocks and Homelessness.
I could hardly hold a conversation without tears and fast becoming hyper vigilant which I now understand characterises my agoraphobia. Hey! You Too...
Thank all you People, Teachers and Advisors who where there for me.
Eternal Thanks to you all. If you are reading this you know who you are.
